Rented a Model S in Vegas last week. Impressed with the way it drove. Did not like the charge time. Took about 9 hours to charge from 60% to full using the hotel charger.

Did not like everything being controlled by the screen. Took 3 taps to open the roof. Had to take my eyes off the road to do it. Same for things like setting the climate. Put some knobs and buttons back into the car .

If I worked at Tesla, I'd build a Electric/Hydrogen hybrid. You can go your 300 mile range on electric and if the battery dies, it can operate as a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. You can fill it up with hydrogen as well as plug it in to charge. Which ever is more convenient. Even better, the car can use the hydrogen fuel cell to charge the batteries when you're not driving it.
